Team Fortress 2

Brand smackin' new illustration featurette video from Gametrailers. "The team at Valve gives an in-depth look at how they designed the character models and headquarters."

[edit] Dictionary, thesaurus, and lexicon are strongly recommended!

I almost understood like half of it. Almost.

But I liked the pretty colors!

I just wish they hadn't dumbed it down for the masses.

*Yawn* Looks alright.

I'm ready when they are.

The whole time I was watching I was hoping they would discuss phong highlights. They did not disappoint. But it's just like Valve to make me wait (over 2 minutes!) for the good stuff. As usual, it was well worth it.

Nice stuff. I wish I could have worked on this title. The art direction is incredibly dynamic.

I'll be getting the ps3 version.

I would never have guessed.

I love the art direction for this more and more every time I see it. Hopefully the game remains as fun as it used to be.

Also: I didn't understand like the last half of that video, but it sure is pretty!

They don't even try anymore.

I remember that once the release date on this was around June 2007. So what is it now?

Heh, I remember when the release date was fourth quarter 1998

October 9th was the last I heard for the 'Orange Box'.

We despertely needed this game to drop about 2-3 months ago...not during the peak of the gaming season. they should have dropped it as a standalone $40 release instead of with the bundle.

Awesome trailer. I hope they do one for each character type.

Good stuff. This is most definitely my next purchase.

Nonsense! TF2 is a core part of peak gaming season! To hell with Halo.

Oh those videos are so beautiful. I think that one's even funnier than the Heavy Weapons guy one from a while back.

Those gibs are insane. They're on par with anime in terms of blood sprays. And it looked like such a sweet little cartoon. Then people started blowing into pools of blood and a soldier conversed with decapitated heads. Can't wait!

ohh brings back lots of memories from WAY back when my clan use to play in the ironglove league! I only hope it lives up to the hype and is not destroyed by cheaters. I have been playing CS:S every now and then and most of the time i know i dont have to scream HAXS! But it is fun when someone screams it at me

My fav saying while playing cs, Yes its a trifle.. AK47 Assualt Rifle

I mad they dont have grenades how am i suppost to conc jump to the 2nd deck and then infect the enemy? I loved it when they would run around going.. AHHH....AHHHH....AHHHH....AHHH and then touch a team mate and then die!

But i do love the art direction reminds me of the anime style of The great lupon! (if i spelled correctly :D) Well at least the spy does...

TF2 FTW! who cares about the other games freaking release now!!!

Lupin.

I love those character videos. I just hope the servers aren't filled with CS pros who make me cry.

nah TF isnt really a twitch game.. So i dont think it will matter too much just the sniper is really deadly for 1 shot one kill but you got to charge so you cant "awp whore" like you can in CS

All i know is i'm going to have to dust off my spy and medic skills Its all about walking backward into a enemy base!

Now you're talking my language.

if I wasn't sold before, those Full-Body Explosions would have nailed it alone!

In TFC, there was nothing sweeter than getting a full-power sniper shot on a heavy weapons guy head and watching his entire body turn into gibs.

True dat. There was something primal about the sniper in TFC. I think they got it spot-on with the big game hunter in TF2, because that's exactly how I felt hunting Heavy Weapons and Scouts on 2fort4

Just put it on the shelf already, gosh!

I think my Fav activity in 2Fort was laying down turrets right under the enemy fort. So that anybody jumping from the upper level towards the bridge gets mowed down from behind. Ahhh... good ol' days.

now that was fun!

i just love the spy, i got so good that the enemy team would put a bullet into each person that ran into the base! I just love making people freak out at EVERYONE on the team, its just funny as hell.

Of course killing people with the knife stab and the crazy gas is always fun

My fav was of course being chased and losing the pack just long enough to change my disguise, then join them in hunting the spy only to slowly kill em off one by one via the stab!

Ohh god we need this game RIGHT NOW, if it lives up to 1/2 of what QWTF was i will play no other game and my wife will prob divorce me (or at least kick my computer off the desk!)
